I'm not sure why you think it was galvanized? It is definitely either black iron or black steel. Which is why the crazy corrosion. Also, this house is probably over a hundred years old...
I was told that you're supposed to use brass.Fittings between galvanized and copper.Because if you go straight Copper to galvanice it would cause galvanic corrosion. Is this true?
Just a question not hate did you not have a dielectric union or brass nipple or does the tape and dope provide enough rust protection for the copper to steel connection
That's not black iron. That's galvanized iron. Big difference.
You’re right, my mistake

Yes a dielectric union would be great.
Since Its stainless steel, rust shouldn't be an issue. Right?
@@selwyn13 galvanized steel but they rust over time anyway.
Tape and dope should protect it but honestly a dielectric probably should’ve been installed, nice catch!
Owner was foolish not getting a repipe done.
Hope you still offered a repipe lmao
Wasn’t in the cards
That fast fill is for a boiler system. Its a closed loop system so your not drinking it also i highly doubt it had black iron water supplies.
The same pipes went to their water heater
Half the fix is before the fastfill
